Autor

Tiffany Francis-Baker is a nature writer and illustrator from the South Downs in Hampshire, with several books to her name. In the course of her work she has watched wild beavers in Devon, hiked through a haunted yew forest in Sussex, listened to migratory birds on an autumn night, stood beneath the Northern Lights in Norway and swam wild under the midnight sun in Finland. For this new Bradt guide she travelled to various Dark Sky sites around the UK and Europe, inspiring her to then seek out the best places in Britain and Ireland to see the night sky. In 2019, she was a writer-in-residence for Forestry England's centenary project, where she wrote and illustrated a poem about the human connection with forests. She has written for a number of national publications, appeared on BBC Radio 4 and Channel 4, and runs a small online business creating illustrated gifts and stationery. Her third book, Dark Skies (Bloomsbury, 2019) was a nature memoir exploring our relationship with the landscape at night.
